First off, you gotta remember Ross is, well, Ross. They’re all about getting stuff cheap. How do they do it? I dunno, some kind of magic fairy dust wholesale deal thing. They probably buy up overstock, maybe stuff that’s slightly damaged (you gotta check *everything* carefully!), or discontinued lines. So, it’s not necessarily *fake*.
But, BUT, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be careful. I mean, people are shady. There’s that whole thing about returning fakes to Amazon after buying the real deal…could that happen at Ross? Probably. Someone could totally buy a legit Bell & Ross (those things are pricey!), swap it with a knockoff, and then return the fake. And some poor Ross employee, probably getting paid minimum wage, ain’t gonna know the difference.
Speaking of Bell & Ross, those are the ones that really catch my eye. I mean, if you see a Bell & Ross for, like, 50 bucks, alarm bells should be ringing louder than a fire truck. I saw someone say that even the cheapest real Bell & Ross is like a grand. So, yeah, maybe that super-cheap square watch with the faux aviation aesthetic IS too good to be true. Look for things like, are the screws actually screwed in, or just stuck on for show? Does the band feel cheap? Little details matter.
And, like, I’m no watch expert, but I’ve definitely seen some seriously janky looking “designer” stuff at Ross. I mean, I wouldn’t trust everything. POIZON, that online shopping platform, they supposedly sell authentic stuff. Maybe compare what you see at Ross to what’s on POIZON if you’re really unsure.
